Missile strike on Yemen MSF-backed clinic kills 4

A missile strike on a Doctors Without Borders clinic in Yemen killed at least four people Sunday, the group said, condemning what it called a "worrying pattern" of such attacks, reports AFP. The Paris-based medical humanitarian organisation said three of its staff members were among 10 people wounded in the raid, the third of its kind in four months in the war-ravaged country. Two other members of staff were in "critical condition", the group known by its French acronym MSF said in a statement. "The numbers of casualties could rise as there could still be people trapped in the rubble," it said, adding the missile hit the medical facility in the Razeh district of Saada province.
But all staff and patients had been evacuated, with the patients being transferred to another MSF-supported hospital in Saada, it said. MSF could not specify whether the medical facility was hit in an air strike by the Saudi-led coalition or by a rocket fired from the ground. Its director of operations, Raquel Ayora, denounced the strike and repeated that the organisation constantly shares the coordinates of its facilities with those fighting in Yemen.
